To form large plantations
To provide defense

Answer 1

The option that is NOT a reason that Oglethorpe and the trustees wanted to start the colony of Georgia is **"To form large plantations."**

Oglethorpe and the trustees were primarily focused on creating a refuge for the poor and indebted, promoting small-scale farming, and providing defense against Spanish threats from Florida, rather than establishing large plantations.
